Museum of Gold in the oldest town in Poland. Do not confuse with the Gold Mine! They are two different tourist attractions :-)
Smith’s Tower near the town centre.
We descend from the tower to the ground floor and we walk down the promenade in the direction of the Church of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Church of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Zlotoryja.
In 2011, the town celebrated the 800th anniversary of gaining the town rights and privileges.
The town did not receive any damage during the Second World War and in the difficult post-war years. The town becomes more and more beautiful in time :-).
Absolutely gorgeous! Excellent guide to the town in which I spent the first fifteen or so years of my life. I always loved that town even at the time that it wasn’t beautifully decorated. I live now in the US but this small piece of precious gold called Zlotoryja is always on my mind!
